Make your way here in just over 30 minutes from the Magnetic Island Ferry Terminal and immerse yourself in island life. If you enjoy beaches, wildlife and exotic paradise views then Magnetic Island is for you! In Nelly Bay where the ferry drops you off there is a bus station. A bus pass is approx. $7 for the day and will take you all over the island; buses run regularly from most places on the island.
Picnic bay has a picturesque jetty that you can walk down and enjoy the view from. Head to Arcadia where the Arcadia Hotel offers great deals on food and drinks. Enjoy Geoffrey Bay where there is great snorkelling and wrecks from WW2 bombings under the water. Alma Bay offers sheltered swimming and is a lovely beach to relax on.
Heading on up to Horseshoe Bay is a must for cafe's and organic, healthy restaurants. Whether you fancy fish & chips, or fine dining, Horseshoe Bay has it all. The Forts Walk is a 3km return walk with great rewarding views across Florence Bay and Arthur Bay.
